A smiling man in a black shirt points at an auction sign for “Lipschitz Properties” beside a woman in leopard print with a gavel, against cloudy skies and trees—Johannesburg water issues make this property auction stand out. An auction stamp appears overhead.

Middelpos is up for auction… and Maureen is ready to negotiate


It’s not every day that an entire town goes up for sale — but that’s exactly what’s happening in the Karoo.

The tiny village of Middelpos, tucked between Sutherland and Williston, is heading to auction next month, offering buyers the chance to own a slice of South African history. According to HOT 1027 News, the sale includes a hotel, shop, factory building, hall and even an old post office — all wrapped up in one very quiet, very remote package.

It’s being positioned as the ultimate escape: no traffic, no noise… and plenty of space to make it your own.

And then, almost on cue… Maureen called.

Maureen Lipschitz of Lipschitz Properties made her latest appearance on HOT 1027 Breakfast, and suddenly the idea of buying property — even an entire town — didn’t feel quite so far-fetched.

The front of Middelpos Hotel with a corrugated metal roof, brick pillars, benches, potted plants, and a sunny, clear sky—an oasis far from the bustle of Johannesburg water concerns.

Simon barely had time to process the news before Maureen launched into one of her signature updates. What starts as a simple catch-up quickly turns into something else entirely: part personal story, part unfiltered overshare… and, inevitably, a property pitch.

Because with Maureen, there’s always a deal to be done.

Listen to the full call below to hear how she somehow connects her latest life update to the idea of prime real estate — with the kind of detail (and confidence) only she can deliver.

Let’s just say… if Middelpos doesn’t sell at auction, Maureen may already have a backup plan.

Because in her world, it’s always about one thing:

Location. Location. Location.
